No Pay for the Troops.

The following letter from Adjt.
Gen. Howard will set at rest a mat
ter that has been the subject of con-
troversy among members of the M.
n. G., all over the State. He has
written the following in reply to a
communication from Col. H. Kyd
Douglas respecting the dissatisfaction
existing among the troops who are
to take part in the Hagerstown en-
campment in August:
Colonel: In reply to your letter
of the 9Th instant. l can only say L
regret as much as any one that the
troops cannot be paid for their seven
days. service in camp. AS you are
aware, the large outlay required in
order to decentiy clothe the men and
place them in condition to respond
to any call made by the State in the
event of an outbreak or serious dis
order makes serious entertainments
on the appropriation, and the neces-
sity of further heavy outlay in pro.
curing blankets. overcoats, furnish
ing transportation and subsistence,
&C., will further greatly reduce the
amount on hand. In fact, the ap-
preparation for the year 'S7-'SS must
be very largely drawn upon, leaving
only sufficient funds to pay current
expenses for that year. You will,
therefore, perceive the dilemma in
which the department is placed.
1.-The law demands an encampment
and directs the payment of the troops
provided a sufficient balance be left
on hand.
"The instruction and benefit to be
derived from few days camp SER
vice will prove invaluable, and l
trust all will respond to the call who
can afford TO do So"

The Cookery Case AmicabIy Settled.

The Cookery farm condemnation
case has been settled by compromise,
and the dispute over the right of
way, which has been waged for the
greater part OF year, has ended
amicably. Everybody will be glad
to hear this.
1t has been rumored for several
days that negotiations looking to a
compromise were in progress. but
the fact that the case went on in
court did not much encourage belief
in this report. Yesterday was busy
day with both principals and counsel,
as in addition to their court duties
the work of negotiating went on.
The result was that last evening
Mr.. Mayer assigned the lease of the
portion of the Cookery farm, through
which the road will run, to S. B..
Elkin's. in consideration of $1,000.
He further agreed to waive all claim
for damages to the adjacent part of
the land covered by the lease, and
not to be used for the railroad. There
were also several understandings be.
tween counsel as to the return of
rails, as well as on minor points, not
yet made public.
1t is also reported that the West
ernport crossing matter was consid-
cred in the agreement.
Possession will be given to the new
lessee on Friday. by which time the
obstruction, etc., will have been re.
moved.
AS consequence of the settlement
the condemnation verdict will this
morning be set aside by consent and
the case will end there.
Various figures were named before
a settlement was reached, and II
1t understood the lessee yesterday
morning asked $40, 200.
The new road can be completed
through the disputed territory in
about week, and in very short
time the entire line will be running
between Cumberland and Piedmont.

THE LATEST MOVE.
The Journeymen Timers Want Shorter
Time.


One of the latest labor movements in
Richmond is that of the journeyman tin
ners. They have served the master tin
ners with a notice that on and after May
1st they will expect to work nine hours
per day on each day of the week except
Saturday. On this day the hours will be
reduced to eight. AS it is now the tin
ners work ten hours PEI day the year
round, shorter dinner hour allowing for
an early suspension on Saturdays.
As there is ample time to prepare for
any contingency, mo action has as yet
been taken by the master timers. Be-
fore the time of notice expired there
will be general meeting of the bosses
and what is necessary for the protection
of Their interests will be done. But at
this time no plan has been formulated
and the matter is at standstill. NO
trouble. however, is anticipated. 1t is
believed that employees and employers
will come together in a spirit of amity
and an arrangement equitable and just to
all will be agreed upon.

Two Men Drowned by the Sinking OF

men were unable to SWIM and their com

sistance. but to no purpose, and In lew
moments they were drowned. The two
men were coiored, and were in the en-
ploy of William Justice.
Search was at once instituted for the
bodies of the unfortunate men, and that
of Peter Diggs was recovered about D
O'Clock Yesterday afternoon. Word was
sent to the First police-station for the
coroner, who happened to be there at
that time, returning from the Taylor in
quest. In company with THE TIMES re-
norter he at once went to where the body
was surrounded by an immense con-
course. He viewed the body and ascer-
tanned the facts to be as above stated. lie
deemed an inquest unnecessary and
turned the body over to Digs son lot
burial.
At late hour last night the body OF
Spencer had not been found.
